the head of n pin, hairpins, pencil tips or
anything OF that nature.
Never lot the feet become cold and

waite any existing hardness of hearing.
Never put milk, fat, or any oily sub

thing else.
Never be alarmed if n living insect en-
tiers the ear. Pouring warm water into

orally come TO the surface, and can be
easily removed by tho fingers. A few
puffs OF tobacco smoke blown into the
ear will stupefy the insect.
Never NEEDLE with the ear If n foreign
body. such as n bead, button or seed, en-
tiers it; leave it absolutely alone, but have
a physician attend to it. More damage

Tho Salmon of Knmschntkn.

Hundreds of salman We're in sight, alb
solutely touching n another, and as we
crossed the river our horses nearly stepped
upon them. Their back fins were visible
rs far as we could see the stream, and
aground and Gasping in the shadows and
lying dead or dying upon the banks were
hundreds more. The odor from these
decaying fish was distinctly p%erceptible
at a distance of a couple of hundred yards
or more. In weight these salmon varied
from seven to fifteen and even twenty
pounds. They were, for the most part,
foul fish-blotchy, with patches of red
and white, and the kind known by the
Russians as the Garbusa; but Others
in fair condition were to be found, and
with a little trouble 1 was able to pull out
three good ten pound fish in as many
minutes with a gaff. Any other method
of fishing would have been useless. 1t
would have been nearly impossible to
make a cast without foul hooking a fish,
and nine-tenths or more of them were in
an UNBEATABLE condition.-The Cruise of

There was on exhibition at the Texas
state fair n large aerolite which was
found among the Comanche Indians by
State Geologist Raester in 1858. The
Indians had known of the stone for
generations by tradition as the thunder
stone" and said it had fallen from the
sky. They were accustomed to visit it,
where it lay partially buried in the earth,
TO whet their knives and arrow points
upon its sides, believing that their
weapons thereby acquired magic power.
An analysis of its composition shows il
to consist in parts: Iron SS.79, nickel
10. rs, cobalt 1854, and the remainder
bronzite, which contains silica, alumina,
p%rotoxide of iron, protoxide of manganese,
and traces of magnesia, soda, potash and
chromium. The stone is extremely HARD
and takes a fine polish. New York Sun,

The Mediterranean sponges are taken
in h Grecian archipelago by men in
diving suits, who go into much deeper
water than they do in Florida. There
most of them are taken with graphing
irons, in the same way as oysters.
They can be seen with the eye on the
bottom, clinging to the rocks. When one
is dislodged another grows in its place in
from six months to a year. A great
many are also taken in the Bahamas.
The market for that crop is Nassau, New
Providence. Key West is the market for
the Florida sponges, which are taken all
along the coast. Trieste and London are
the markets for the Mediterranean
sponges. Some are taken off the coast of
China.
eve had one once" said a dealer,
'that inclosed a large jug. 1t was a fine
sponge and had grown completely around
the jug. They are frequently full of
shells. When a sponge is first taken out
of the water it is as black as ink, and it
has to be treated by various processes I'M
til it becomes the color commonly seen.
"a sponge is the lowest order of ami
NAL life, if, indeed, it is animal and not
vegetable. Anumber of minute animals
live in it. The business is about half a
century old in this country. Sponges are
sold by the bale in this country, and by
the case in Europe. They weigh from
twenty-five to 100 pounds.
when sold by weight the dealers are
allowed to sand them about % per cent.
Prices range from $40 to $3.50, the larger
sum for very fine toilet sponges. There
are many grades, such as silk, velvet,
cup, glass, bath, surgeon and slate. =

Judge Richardson, who presides over
the court of claims bench, originates Ia
good many neat little sayings. The other
evening he was lecturing to n large audi
cnce of law students ON the principles of
success in the legal profession. The judge
advanced some ideas as TO the causes of
the success of lawyers in politics that
were new to me, but seem TO have germs
Of FEASIBILITY if not truth. Rather curl
ously they were introduced under the
topic of "integrity."
BE honest, - said Judge Richardson,
III for no other reason than that the
world believes all lawyers to be trick
sters. 1t is impossible to disabuse
the entire public of that error, but when
an individual gets into trouble, comes to
you and finds you square and true in your
dealings, he is so delightfully."- surprised
that he becomes your warm friend for
life. He still says that all lawyers are
cheats, but makes an emphatic exception
in favor of his lawyer. Thus a lawyer
has the opportunity TO make more friends
than any other professional man. If you
ever come TO run for office you will be
astonished at tho number of political OPP
ponents who will vote for you on the
score of friendship. Such is the uniform
testimony of all my politico-legal friends. "

CALIFORNIA; Biggest Orchard.

California has some big orchards, and
the largest is in the Suisun valley and is
owned by A. 7. Hatch, president of the
California Fruit union. Mr.. Hatch has
200 acres in pear trees, 100 in peaches,
20 in apricuts, 10 in nectarines, 210 in
almonds, 40 in cherries, 100 IN plums
and prunes, besides 40 acres of c~urrants
and gooseberries, and hundreds of lemon
and orang trees. OF these acres 800
bore fruit this season to the amount of
1000 tons, which brought the owner
800, 600. He calculates that when the
whole orchard is in full bearing it will
produce 5000 tons of fruit, worth $780,

AS a remedy for dissipation the Turk
ish bath is sometimes an important factor
in social life. Not long since the youth
full hope of a Murray Hill family had an
important engagement at II o'clock in
the morning. 1t was, in fact, no less
than n wedding at church, with himself
as the groom. AT $50 o'clock he was
scarcely sober enough to summon n de-
voted friend to his room, where he told
him how he had been enticed into an
over indulgence the night before and led
into a dissipation that had lasted until
morning. He had not even dared to go
to sleep lest he should oversleep himself,
and had reached his house ut 8 o'clock,
with a brain so befuddled that he could
scarcely manage to tell his friend that it
was liquor that had upset him. Fortu-
nately the man he had summoned knew
what n Turkish bath would do. In ten
minutes the young fellow was beginning
n process Of heating and cooling and
pounding and kneading and rubbing, out
Of which he emerged at 1890 an entirely
new man. His wedding suit meanwhile
had been brought to the bath house, and
at IL O'Clock he marched into the church
with the suppleness of an athlete and the
firm tread of a soldier. 1t was a close
shave, and he made any number of good
resolves by way of penance New York

Professor rockingham, of Princeton,
who has recently returned from Italy, has
brought with him an extensive collection
of casts and of Babylonian and Assyrian
seals and cylinders. Besides these he
brought a valuable collection of antique
vases from Etruria, illustrating Etruscan
archaeology from the archaic to the
Roman period. This collection, which is
most complete historically, and comprises
about 200 specimens, came from excava-
tons made at Civita Castellana, near
Rome. While in Germany Professor
rockingham procured several wood carv-

The ceremonies for death and burial
are alike for men and women. In the
hour of death the face is turned towards
Mecca or Jerusalem, and when the final
moment comes the women of the harem,
in regular succession, send forth shrill
falsetto cries hat reno the air and make
the nerves CULVER. This cry brings to
the home h women of the village, who
join in the lament for the dead. All are
dressed in soiled, lark blue robes, and
ave faces, hands, breasts and ever the
walls of the house daubed with indigo.
They unbraid their hair, and often pluck
it out and lash themselves into a frenzy.
Among the rich the clothing of the lead
is strewn about the room, and the dishes
n ornaments broken with great noise.
Before the chill of death has fallen upon
the inanimated form it must be carried
to the tomb. The mourners follow the
bier, which is covered with a cashmere
shawl and carried on the shoulders of
men. All are in soiled garments, with
coarse cloth on the head.
The night following the burial, the
men pass the hours with friends, smok-
ing and drinking coffee, calm and re-
signed to destiny; the women spend the
night in wailing and shrieking. On GER
tam days the mother bewails her dead
through the years, and on the festivals
of the dead, families take their provis-
ions and shawls and spend the night at
the graves of their relations. After the
death of a husband the widow must re-
main in the house a year, with all the
covering of the furniture wrong side out,
and the mirrors and ornaments covered.
She does not offer refreshments to visit
ors, and the pipes are without their
mouthpieces, and she must have, at
stated times, professional walters to per-
form in the house. The women beau
tify themselves by ~tattooing the face
and breast; Coptic women have a cross
or star tattooed on the arm. Lips are
stained a dark purple, and finger nails
and palms of the hands are colored
orange with henna. Women of every
class put a black rim under the eye,
made with kohl, which is not injurious
and besides lending size and force to the
eye, gives it shade from light.-Alexan-
dria Cor. Milwaukee Sentinel.

Astronomer Mitchell and Daniel Webster.

Astronomer Mitchell and Daniel Webster.
We paid our first visit TO the secretary
of state, who was already at al early
hour in his public office. / had seen Mr..
Webster oncc before. Several years had
rolled round, and extraordinary changes
in his political relations had in the mean
time taken place. One glance at the
strongly marked features of his counter
ance, which now wore an air of peculiar
s~ternness, plainly told that the changes
through which he had passed had not
been unaccompanied with fierce conflicts
and mighty struggles, which had, liter
ally, dug their traces Upon his careworn
face. The Ashburton treaty was at t. is
very time upon his hands, and was, per-
haps, at this very moment t%orturlng his
mind with some of its vexed and per-
picking questions. The secretary sat in
his chair and received us not with
courtesy, and yet not with indifference,
but with a look which spoke as plainly as
language could nave uttered it: "Well,
gentlemen, our business; l have no time
10 handy compliments
Interpreting the look and acting upon
It, / addressed him much after the fol-
lowing fashion: 1--WE nave raised in our
city IC%incinnatil by voluntary contribu-
non a sum bulllGltnl " LAY TIC lOullud-
lions Of a great observatory. 1t will DO
the first in our country. l am the agent
Of the contributors, and am on my way to
Europe TO acquire the knowledge neces-
sary TO build, furnish and conduct such
an observatory. AS the objects to be
accomplished by this enterprise are ma
tiunal, some interested ave thought that
the government might so far assist the
association as to make its agent the
bearer Of dispatches to some foreign
court; and if this be impossible, the asso-
.,iatiun requests that l may be furnished
with such letters TO our ministers abroad
as may facilitate my operations while in
Europe"
Mr.. Webster's reply was more con-
densed and laconic. ITO make you
bearer of dispatches, and thus pay in
part your expenses, is impossible. Con-
Eress has deprived me of the means Of
paving for any such services. / will

Orthodox Christians will watch with
interest, and perhaps alarm, the new mis-
sionary movement in Germany. So
called advanced ~theologians have a well
organized society, whose object is to
make use of the clements of culture and
morality that are found in educated
heather nations, and on this basis build
up n Christian culture according to ad-
vanced ideas. This society thinks that
the old methods fail in that they do not
interest the thinkers among educated
non-C christian people. 1t has 1850 mem

How cannries arc Taught.

Canares have their maestrds, both
human and of their own kind. At n ce--
tain age the young birds are placed in
rooms where five old male singers are
kept in dark boxes made of n peculiar
wood, which acts like the sounding board
of a piano, so MS to give their songs n
greater ~fullness. In these boxes are small
air holes. When the front of the boxes
are taken ST and light is let in these old
professionals will begin to sing. The
pupils listen attentively, and, being very
initiative, soon learn to sing that way too.
When they have picked up all the fine
notes which the instructor can give them
the owner will have n flute or piccolo
played in the room, n nightingale will be
allowed to sing 10 them and a wild forest
bird will be occasionally introduced.
When their %educations are completed they
have diplomas tackled on their cages and
are sold.-New York World.
